If you play a session of Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition<\/em>, you’re going to end up taking hits. Your Armor Class will be asked for over and over again, especially if you’re up front and personal with monsters. <\/p>
It’s one of the most commonly used aspects of your character sheet. But, once you can calculate it, you can figure out how to make it better. So, let’s armor up.<\/p>
Armor Class<\/strong>, or AC<\/strong>, is a difficulty check that represents how hard you are to hit in 5E<\/em> (and also Baldur’s Gate 3<\/em>). In order to deal damage to someone with an attack roll, a character must roll equal to or higher than their target’s Armor Class. This defense applies to both weapon attack rolls and spell attack rolls.<\/p>
